Before & After Photos

This crawl space had ground water leaking from just underneath the floor. We installed a perimeter drainage system consisting of perforated pipes placed in trenches backfilled with gravel, all connected to a SmartSump sump pump. We then installed drainage matting and CleanSpace liner over the floor of the crawl space. We then hooked up a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to the pump. We also insulated with SilverGlo panels over the CleanSpace on the walls. 

This crawlspace had some big rocks in it, but fear not, The Basement Doctor can navigate. CleanSpace matting is flexible enough for any obstruction, and will still block out all negativity.

This homeowner in Versailles, KY, called us after heavy rainfall caused their crawl space to flood. They wanted a permanent solution—not just a quick fix—so we introduced them to our encapsulation system. We explained that it doesn’t just stop flooding, but also blocks moisture entirely, creating a cleaner, healthier, and longer-lasting crawl space. They were all in.

In the after photo, you can see the main “organs” of our system at work:

• SmartSump Pump with UltraSump Battery Backup – the “heart” of the system, collecting groundwater through its “veins” (our drainage channels) and pumping it safely out of the foundation. The UltraSump acts like a “pacemaker,” keeping the heart beating even during a power outage.

• SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier – the “lungs,” automatically controlling humidity so the air stays clean and dry.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier – the “skin,” sealing out moisture, bugs, and dirt for complete protection.

• SilverGlo Wall Insulation – the “fatty tissue,” locking in warmth during the winter and improving energy efficiency.

With all these components working together, this crawl space now has the full anatomy of a healthy, protected foundation.

The owner of this new home wanted their new crawl space properly prepared for the future. We installed our standard crawl space repair system consisting of a SmartSump sump pump hooked up to a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, CleanSpace lining, drainage matting, and EverLast crawl space door. The result is a crawl space that is properly prepared for the future and will surely last a long, long time. 

This crawl space in Williamstown, Kentucky, was dusty, humid, and unprotected — the kind of environment that invites mold, moisture damage, and poor air quality. The homeowner was concerned about the long-term impact on their home and reached out for a permanent solution. We transformed the space with a full CleanSpace® vapor barrier encapsulation, sealing off the crawl space from the earth. To manage water, we installed drainage matting, perforated drain lines, and a SmartSump® system for reliable water removal. A dehumidifier was added to keep humidity in check, and we finished the job with SilverGlo® insulation panels along the walls to improve energy efficiency. The result is a clean, dry, and protected crawl space — and a much healthier home above.
